2024 was a year of significant progress on one of the most critical health challenges of our time—brain injuries and their long-term effects. This year Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada, in collaboration with our partners, made significant impacts to the discourse and education on brain injuries, and advanced real changes to policies. Here’s how: • Met with government and appeared at the federal Standing Committee on Health to advance policies and awareness around CTE and brain health. • Made important advancements in brain research, contributing to the understanding and prevention of long-term brain injuries. •Provided essential support to individuals and families like Brendan Hynes and Shane Nedohin affected by brain injuries through our HelpLine and Project Enlist Canada’s Support Line, delivering guidance and hope when it’s needed most. As we look ahead to 2025, we remain committed in our mission of make lasting change. Together, we can build a future where no one faces the challenges of brain injuries alone. Protecting Canadians brain health should be everyone’s concern.

As we recognize Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, it's important to highlight the connection between men’s health and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Research shows that maintaining overall health can significantly reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s and support brain health. Engaging in regular physical exercise, such as walking, swimming, or strength training, improves blood flow to the brain and promotes cardiovascular health. Keeping the brain active through mental exercises like puzzles, reading, or learning new skills can build cognitive reserve and delay cognitive decline. Regular health check-ups are also essential for identifying and managing risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, all of which are linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Having a caregiver can greatly support these efforts. Caregivers provide the necessary assistance to maintain a healthy lifestyle, ensuring regular physical activity, mental stimulation, and timely health check-ups. They offer personalized care and attention, making it easier to adhere to routines that promote brain health. At Chamberlin Care we are committed to supporting men's health and well-being. Our caregivers are here to help you or your loved ones stay active, engaged, and healthy, reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s and enhancing overall quality of life. #MensHealth #AlzheimersAwareness #BrainHealth #HomeCare #HealthyLiving

Fear of experiencing another heart attack significantly impacted survivors' perception of illness and stress levels, according to a new study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2024. The study found that this fear persisted from 6 to 8 months after the initial heart attack, even after controlling for anxiety and depression. 'Health care often focuses solely on anxiety and depression, missing an important issue – patients may be experiencing fear of having another heart attack for another reason,' said lead author Sarah Zvonar, Ph.D., R.N., C.C.R.N., from Indiana University School of Medicine. The study analyzed data from 171 heart attack survivors, with an average age of 39 years. While alcohol intake was low overall, those who consumed more alcohol were more likely to experience fear of recurrence and higher stress levels. 'The findings suggest that we should consider not only psychological factors like depression and stress after a heart attack but also recognize that many people may have a genuine fear of experiencing another heart attack,' said Glenn N. Levine, M.D., from Baylor College of Medicine. While preliminary, the study highlights the need for extended follow-up and mental health support for heart attack survivors to address this fear, which can negatively impact their psychological well-being and potentially increase the risk of future heart problems. @americanheart #aha24 @indianauniversity @baylorhealthcare
